business Resumed at the old stand.

New YORK, February 15-The bust
ness of the steamship and railroad com
panies on the piers along the river front
has assumed its normal condition, and
freight is being moved as Systematically
as before the big strike. Many Of the old
hands have got back to work, and the
Italians who took the places OF the strik-
ers are now accustomed to the work, and,
the agents say, are as good as their old
hands, except that they do not under
stand English. The men now acknow-
ledge they were badly beaten and some
of them are severe in their denunciation

Though Adelina Maria Clorinda Patti was
born in Madrid, in 1S43, her family moved to
New York the following year. 1t was there
that her carly musical training was received,
50 she may be claimed an al American Her
bro.herin-law was Maurice Strakosch, and it
was he who first brought her before the pub
lie in New York, in 1859 She had sung in
concerts from the age Of s. In 1861 she sang
i'm Italian opera in London, and Immediately
won success which has made her a prime
favorite with the English public since. In
1862 she captured the Partisan hearts, and in
1870 she visited Russia, and her voice so cap
tiyated the emperor that he decorated her with
title, and appointed her first singer at the inn
perial court In 1868 Mime. Patti was married
to the Marquis de Caux, but the noble was un-
worthy of her, and they were legally sep
arated
Nine PATHS sister, Carlotta, is also gifted
with beautiful voice. 1t is described as the
highest soprano ever known, reaching 70 q
sharp in alt Her powers of execution are
also extraordinary, but owing to a slight
aneness she has refrained from exhibiting
her talents on the stage and has confined them
TO concerts.

FROM WASHINGTON.
XLIXth CONGRESS.
Senate.

WASHINGTON, February 15-Mr. Jones,
of Nevada, from the Committee on FL
nance, reported back House amendments
to the trade-dollar bill, with recommenda-
tion that they be non-concurred in.
The amendments were nOn-concurred
in and a conference asked by Mr.. Jones,
of Nevada. Messrs. Morrill, and Beck
were appointed conferrees on the part of
the Senate.
The Speaker announced the appoint
ment of Messrs. Peel Skinner, and Per
kins as conferrees on the Indian appro-
priation bill.
After the disposal of business on the
Speakers table, Mr. Henderson, of Iowa,
called UP the resolution discharging the
committee of the whole from the further
consideration Of Senate bill granting a
pension to Mary s. Logan and making
that bill the special order for to-day.
Against this resolution the point of
order was pending that it did not present
privileged question and was not entitled
to immediate consideration as bearing
upon the question.
Mr. Hammond made long citations
from the debate which occurred in the
House in 1882, at the time of the adoption
of the rule known as the Pound rule.
This was the. only occasion since 1874,
when the direct question was raised as to
whether the notice of the change of rules
presented was privileged matter when
called up, and upon that occasion the
weight of argument had been 50 great
against the affirmative of the proposition
that Mr.. Pound, of Wisconsin, author of
the proposed change of the rules, had
voluntarily abandoned his position and
permitted his measure to be referred to
the Committee on Rules.

that Coquelin has voice. 1t must be a very

STERLING, ILL.,, February l5.-Word
has just been received from up the river
that on Friday afternoon last, two Young
men, Hugh Ramsay and Mcclellan Flack,
started out in a skiff for the residence Of
Mr.. Ditman, which is situated in the sub
merged district known as the Como Bot

The heavy current upset the skiff, but It's
occupants managed to catch hold of a

remained until Saturday morning, when
they were rescued, after having been in
the water for sixteen hours. Flack, it is

The Tomb of Juliet at Verona.
Baltimore Sun.

It is not possible to come to or from Venice without paying visit to Yer ona. Any quantity of spinsters from America, of both the antique and the modern type, are travelling over Flu rope this season on their own hook. Parties of three and four are encoun- tered everywhere, acting in perfectly independent manner, and ignorance of the language of the country where they may be does not interfere in the least with their comfort. Not one of them who gets to this part of the world will miss Verona and the tomb of Juliet, nor will they permit anyone else they meet to pass by it. Now, never took much stock in Romeo and Juliet. It always struck me that they were two very ridiculous persons, and the best thing they every did was to get themselves out of the way. But as was told so many times it would not do to be so near Verona and not go there, I went and made the pill grimage to the tomb of Juliet. The tomb is fraud. It is nothing but dilapidated old marble sarcophagus kept in little hut at the far end of the big garden of a Franciscan mo- mastery. The walk from the outside gate is under an overlapping arbor of vines, from which great punches of grapes hang in the utmost protusion. These grapes were really quite deli cious and afforded the only compensa- tion for the visit. The sarcophagus is empty, and what has become of .Juli- cts body cannot be told. The senti- mental individuals who come to look have left their cards for the spirit of .Juliet. These cards are cleared out of the sarcophagus, l suppose, several times year. When I looked into it there were two thousand or three thousand cars lying at the bottom bearing the names of high and low titled persons, from counts and count esses down to plain Smith, with no prefix. The Capulet mansion is also one of the attractions of Verona. The balcony where Juliet used to stand and listen to the serenades, is perched very high up, and Romeo and the other gallants of Verona must have strained their necks to get a sight of her. The churches of Verona are very quaint and very antinque, portions of one of them, according to the story of the guide, going as far back as the seventh century. The most interest ing sight in all Verona to me was the old Roman amphitheatre, compara- lively as perfect as when built, and which, constructed entirely of stone, with that Roman cement which dyna- mite often fails to affect, looks almost indestructible. do not see why modern builders cannot take a lesson from these architects of old.

 On parting from him friend told me of the "almost royap family of General Williams, who comes from Louisiana. "He was grand master of the grand lodge of his state, his father was grand master before him, and his grandfather was grand master before him This is family record few can claim. have often heard him say, T hate copperhead If man has the courage of his convictions, believes he is right and is willing to fight for his principles, I will take him by the hand, but the man who secretly and with cowardice is traitor to his country, I detest' Yet he was a southerner to the bone. I believe to this day people cannot remember that such man as he stood Loyalty by Un- cle Sam without thrill of genuine appreciation. That he did so in more ways than one is proved by the fol- lowing: At the beginning of the war he went into the office of General Spinner and found him pacing up and down, a frown of anxiety on his brow and trouble written all over his coun- tenance. 'What is the matter?' We need money. We need money now, this day. How much do you want?' Well, for now, we want two hundred thousand dollars in gold I have that amount in bank, and will loan it to you.' General Spinner joyfully &C., cepted the proposition and the gold was transferred from the bank to the treasury. Time went on. Gold went up, up, up. The government was in a position to discharge it's debts, of such character as the above, so Gen. eral Williams was notified. Gold was at two hundred and fifty. General Williams was paid two hundred thou sand dollars in greenbacks. He had the privilege of buying back his gold by paying two dollars and fifty cents for every dollar he had loaned. It is pretty mathematical problem to reckon up what was his loss by this simple little transaction."- Washing- lon Correspondence Y. !. Gtuphtc.
